< Psalms 29 >
1 A Melody of David. Give to Yahweh, ye sons of the mighty, —Give to Yahweh, [both] glory and strength:
A psalm for David, at the finishing of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O ye children of God: bring to the Lord the offspring of rams.
2 Give to Yahweh, the glory of his Name, Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness.
Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: adore ye the Lord in his holy court.
3 The voice of Yahweh, is upon the waters, —The GOD of glory, hath thundered, Yahweh, is upon mighty waters;
The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of majesty hath thundered, The Lord is upon many waters.
4 The voice of Yahweh, is with power, The voice of Yahweh, is with majesty;
The voice of the Lord is in power; the voice of the Lord in magnificence.
5 The voice of Yahweh, is breaking cedars, Now hath Yahweh, broken down, the cedars of Lebanon!
The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus.
6 And hath made them leap like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion, like the bull-calf of wild-oxen;
And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the beloved son of unicorns.
7 The voice of Yahweh, is cleaving out flames of fire;
The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire:
8 The voice of Yahweh, bringeth birth-pains upon the wilderness; Yahweh bringeth birth-pains upon the wilderness of Kadesh!
The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert of Cades.
9 The voice of Yahweh, causeth the gazelles to bring forth, and hath stript forests; and, in his own temple, every one there, is saying, Glory!
The voice of the Lord prepareth the stags: and he will discover the thick woods: and in his temple all shall speak his glory.
10 Yahweh, at the Flood, was seated, And Yahweh hath taken his seat, as king, unto times age-abiding.
The Lord maketh the flood to dwell: and the Lord shall sit king for ever.
11 Yahweh, will give, strength to his people, —Yahweh, will bless his people with prosperity.
The Lord will give strength to his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace.
